Truckers Against Trafficking

What Truckers Against Trafficking does

Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. Its mission is to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize members of the transportation industry and key agencies to combat human trafficking — an issue that, per TAT's cited statistics, affects an estimated 50 million people globally and where 81% of survivors used transportation during recruitment, 76% during exploitation, and 52% to escape. TAT works with a defined set of vertical segments including trucking, local drivers, truck stops, dealerships, shipping and logistics, energy, transit, motorcoach, and school transportation, alongside law enforcement, government agencies, and industry associations such as the American Trucking Associations.

TAT's core product surface combines a web-based training platform (train.tatnonprofit.org), the TAT mobile App for on-the-go access to training and reporting resources, the Freedom Drivers Project mobile exhibits deployed at truck stops and industry events, the Training Library, and a growing catalog of industry-specific training modules including the newly launched TAT in Action animated training series and Trucking Refresh course. The Coalition Builds initiative extends the platform into formal public-private partnerships at the local and state level, while the Harriet Tubman Award (annual, with a $5,000 prize) reinforces brand and recognition. All training is delivered free of charge to end users — transportation workers and law enforcement — and is funded through tiered corporate sponsorships (Driving Force, North Star, Freedom Driver, Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper) and individual donations via a Network for Good portal.

The business model is donation- and sponsorship-driven rather than revenue-driven. TAT does not charge for its training or app; it monetizes through philanthropic contributions, with flagship partner UPS Foundation committing $1,000,000+ over three years, Inland Kenworth at $250K+, and a broad base of 100+ corporate sponsors across logistics, retail, energy, and trucking (Amazon, Walmart, FedEx, Ryder, Love's, TravelCenters of America, C.H. Robinson, Bridgestone, Penske, ATA, Volvo, Pilot, J.B. Hunt, Schneider, Werner, XPO, ConocoPhillips, PepsiCo, Women In Trucking, Canadian National Railway). GTM motion is community-led and channel-partner driven: TAT reaches transportation workers primarily through these corporate partners who deliver training to their own workforces, supplemented by direct digital self-serve training, mobile exhibits at truck stops and industry events, and law enforcement training programs.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• American Trucking Associations (ATA): TAT's industry-association partner and a Platinum sponsor. Not a direct anti-trafficking peer, but the principal US trucking trade association and the main distribution channel TAT leverages to reach member carriers.
• Women In Trucking: TAT Gold partner and industry association focused on gender diversity in trucking. Comparable in serving as a trucking-specific nonprofit intermediary; collaborates with TAT on awareness and training deployment.

Broad incumbents

• National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC): Large US nonprofit addressing child abduction, exploitation, and trafficking. Comparable to TAT in the child-protection training domain (TAT's School Transportation segment) and in operating public-private partnerships with law enforcement.
• Polaris Project: One of the largest US anti-trafficking nonprofits, operating the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Operates in the same mission space as TAT but with a much broader, victim-services orientation rather than a transportation-industry focus.
• International Justice Mission (IJM): Large global anti-trafficking organization focused on rescue and prosecution. Operates in the same mission category as TAT but at substantially greater scale, with field operations in multiple countries and an established institutional donor base.

Emerging players

• Not For Sale: Smaller anti-trafficking nonprofit focused on supply-chain intervention and survivor reintegration. Comparable to TAT as a mission-aligned nonprofit with corporate-engagement programming, but with a more international and supply-chain orientation.

Direct peers

• Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST): Seattle-based nonprofit enabling businesses to combat human trafficking through training, policy, and survivor inclusion. Most direct corporate-facing peer to TAT, with overlapping employer-training mandate but a multi-industry rather than transportation-specific focus.
• A21: Global anti-trafficking nonprofit delivering prevention programming, victim support, and aftercare. Comparable to TAT as a mission-aligned peer; differs in geographic focus and program mix (A21 emphasizes global reach and direct victim services).
• ECPAT-USA: US affiliate of an international network combating child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Comparable to TAT as a US-based anti-trafficking advocacy and training organization with policy and corporate engagement functions.
• United Against Slavery: Coalition of anti-trafficking organizations cited directly in TAT's source data via the National Outreach Survey on Transportation. A direct peer in mobilizing private-sector participation against trafficking, with overlapping corporate and survivor-data work.
